Message your congresscritters, NOW. Tell them to order Trump to call off the military.
(He won't listen, but that sets up a direct confrontation sooner rather than later. Which is good for us.)

Tell Congress: No Troops on Our Streets
President Trump has deployed thousands of National Guard and federal troops into our communities in response to Angelenos protesting the dangerous and cruel ICE raids across LA. Tell Congress: No troops on our streets.

hiv_transmission: HIV transmission network (1988-2001)
A set of networks of HIV transmissions between people through sexual, needle-sharing, or social connections, based on combining 8 datasets collected from 1988 to 2001. Metadata includes test results of several diseases, as well as demographic variables such as age, ethnicity, and gender. Networks come in two flavors: egodyads and altdyads. Egodyads are the network among study-participants and their direct partners. Altdyads are the…

Encoding of Demographic and Anatomical Information in Chest X-Ray-based Severe Left Ventricular Hypertrophy Classifiers
While echocardiography and MRI are clinical standards for evaluating cardiac structure, their use is limited by cost and accessibility.We introduce a direct classification framework that predicts severe left ventricular hypertrophy from chest X-rays, without relying on anatomical measurements or demographic inputs. Our approach achieves high AUROC and AUPRC, and employs Mutual Information Neural Estimation to quantify feature expressivity. This reveals clinically meaningful attribute encoding a…

Across the country, Republican lawmakers have been working to undermine or altogether undo the will of the voters -- by making it harder to pass amendments and laws through citizen-led initiatives.
In #Missouri, the 2025 legislative session was dominated by Republican lawmakers trying to reverse two major measures that voters had put on the ballot and approved just months before;

Red State Voters Approved Progressive Measures. GOP Lawmakers Are Trying to Undermine Them.
In the wake of ballot measures that increased abortion access and improved sick leave for workers, a coordinated effort is unfolding across the country to restrict direct democracy — and shift power to partisan legislatures.

Critical scattering for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation on waveguide manifolds
We study the small data scattering problem in critical spaces for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLS) on waveguide manifolds. Our work is primarily inspired by the recent paper of Kwak and Kwon \cite{KwakKwon} that established the local well-posedness of the periodic NLS with possibly non-algebraic nonlinearity. While we adopt a framework similar to \cite{KwakKwon} for our problem, two main obstacles prevent its direct adaptation to the waveguide setting. First, the classical Strichartz e…
